Monstermatic is the first free mobile game app that allows
users to create and 3D PRINT custom designed monsters. Players are given tools
to invent, interact, share, and ultimately unleash their monsters into the
world through 3D printing technology. New monsters and further customization
options can be unlocked simply by playing the game. All monster parts are
interchangeable. Design combinations are endless!

Some studios encourage the purchase of 3D versions of their characters to enhance their games. While it is an interesting idea, it doesn't give the player the freedom to create their own character. With Monstermatic, THE GAME IS TO CREATE your character!

With your help, we will release this unique game late Fall 2013 equipped with the amazing features below and give it that polished feel while also retaining seamless 3D printing integration:

Troubleshooting 3D printing Integration and Debugging ($7,500): Even though we have 10 unique designs that print fine individually we need to run more tests when combining them with items from other monsters. Sometimes we have to adapt our models so they work well together.

Adapting on all iOS Devices ($3,500):
We are building Monstermatic on an iPhone 5. We need to make sure our graphics display beautifully on all screen sizes (iPhone 4, 4S, 5 as well as iPad 2 and newer). While this might sound simple, it can be tricky and time consuming.

Animations and Interactions ($3,500):
We want all of our monsters to feel different and unique, not just in their design, but also in the way we interact with them. Animating each one of them will make them feel alive and real.

Polished UI ($2,500): We're polishing our UI to make it easy to navigate and give the players the best possible experience.

Sound ($2,200):
Let’s be honest, our monsters would be so much cooler if they had a voice.

Social Media Integration ($2,000):
We can already post on major social networks, send emails or save a photo of a monster in the gallery but these features need a little more polishing to seamlessly integrate with the app.

Augmented Reality ($1,500): Real world interaction with the monsters using Augmented Reality technology.

What happens if we surpass our goal? Well, if we had the additional funds, here is what we would add to REALLY make Monstermatic shine!

Add professional sound FX and music

Collaborate with famous toy designers to integrate fresh new monster designs

Even more customization options

Even more monsters

Purchase our own 3D Printer: It would lower production costs, give us full control over 3D printing, allow for custom designed packaging, and reduce delivery time.

Clayton is the creative force behind Monstermatic. He has spent time in the movie industry working on films such as Alice in Wonderland and Smurfs. Clayton also suffers from Attention Deficit Dis...“Hey, LOOK, a monster!” It was his long time monster addiction that led him to develop Monstermatic.

Mike is the artist with an eye for detail and a penchant for solving creative problems. He has spent time creating mobile apps for companies such as Marvel, Disney, and Coca Cola, and dreams of one day owning a giraffe. Mike’s motto: "Keep it simple.

"Levi, is the engineer putting it all together. He is the magic man turning a few pieces of art and some raw ideas into a working app. Levi graduated from this one place and spent years developing stuff at that other place. His ability to “app” is exceeded only by his ability to drum, and his answer to any given question always remains the same: “Anything is possible.”

Each unique design is made of 5 swappable parts, a full animation and is 3D printing ready. They all went through rigorous training in our monster testing facility and we guarantee that they are 100% certified pure monsters.

Print #1 is 13" x 7" printed on Glossy Poster Paper.

Print #2 is 14.5" x 8.75" printed on Glossy Poster Paper.

Risks and challenges

Monstermatic grew from a passion for great video games, animation and character design. It is around this passion that we gathered as a team and grew the desire to make this project a reality.

3D Printing is still in its infancy, information is lacking for troubleshooting and there is a lot of trial and error involved both technically and artistically. Also, if our 3D printing third party went out of business or no longer supported our process we would have to change service or update our process along the way, which could mean a setback. But, at this point I can honestly say we've become 3D print experts and nothing can stop us.

We will constantly encounter new risks and challenges, but we are committed no matter the problem. Our combined creative skills will find a solution to turn "challenge" into "opportunity".

THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING MONSTERMATIC!

We want to bring the magic of Monstermatic to all of you who support it. To build our audience, we need people like YOU! People who believe in our mission, who are willing to help us see this project through. Without you, Monstermatic would not be possible. So spread the word far and wide! Through the realms Twitter, Facebook, Google + and Instagram. Let the first 3D printing game begin, so that all the people from around the globe hear the roar of our monsters.

FAQ

The "Just A Monster, Please" pledge, is a pledge that is NOT included in any of the other pledges. It is not included as part of the "Everything above." Any pledge that already includes a monster, like the $100 pledge, would not include the extra monster.
